A best man at a wedding has gone viral after getting caught out in a hot mic moment where he appeared to speak his thoughts out loud.
In the clip posted by wedding videographer @chiolafilms, the groom and his groomsmen were stood at the top of the aisle as they waited for the bridal party to arrive at the outdoor ceremony.
With sunny weather and a soft piano playing, there was a lovely ambiance as one of the bridesmaids began walking down the aisle, wearing a plunging neckline.

Though this atmosphere was soon interrupted when the best man said: "oh yeah, zoom in on those," apparently clueless to the fact that the groom was mic'd up (visible on his lapel) as the event was being recorded.
The best man's reaction prompted laughter by some of the other groomsmen while the groom himself shushed him and gave him a telling off.
"Shhh! Are you f***** dumb, dude?" the groom said.
Seemingly unaware of his volume, the best man replied: "Was that loud?… I can’t hear [anything] with the music."

The groom again berated him: "“What, are you a f***** a******?" and while the best man repeated his excuse, the groom informed him about the mic picking up everything that is being said: "I’m f****** mic’d up. Also, you’re an idiot."
That's when the penny dropped for the best man, who glanced at the mic and closed his eyes while awkwardly laughing.
He noted: "I just yelled into it," when the groom reminded him once again that he is an "idiot."
The clip then zooms into the best man who is trying his best to hold it together and not laugh while giving a wide grin.
